CONTAINER.

Application led June 10, 1922. Serial No. 567,260.

To all Iwhom t may concern.'

Be it known that 1, HENRY J. GAISMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Containers, of which the following is a specilication.

My invention has reference to improvements in containers or boxes adapted to retain separate articles, one of the objects of my invention being to provide a container with an interior compartment movably supported, in which compartment a folded razor strop may be placed, the arrangement being suoli that said compartment containing the strop may be folded within the container for storage of the strop and may be turned to an upward position to permit the strop to be removed and replaced.

My improven'ients also provide means to retain a safety razor as well as safety razor blades within the container in convenient position for access.

My invention comprises novel details of improvement that will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed ont in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanyin drawings forming part hereof, whereinlfig. 1 is a perspective view of a container embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan View of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section, and

Figs. l and 5 are fragmentary detail views.

Similar numerals of reference indicate Corresponding parts in the several views.

rllhe main portion of the container or box comprises a bottom 1 and front and rear walls 2, 3, preferably made in a single piece of material bent into rectangular form and provided at their end edges with inturned flanges il, 5, 6 respectively. At 7, 8 are end walls which are located against the respective flanges 4L, 5, 6 and may be secured thereto by spot welding` solder or in any other desired manner. The parts described, when secured together, form an open top container or receptacle of suitable dimensions which may be provided with a hinged cover 9 that may be attached to the box or container by means of pivots 10. The cover 9 may be provided with a flange 9a having a recess 11 which may be pressed outwardly from the material of the flange adapted to receive a projection 12 which may be pressed out from materialof the box wall 2, the parts 11 and 12 providing complemental interengaging members to retain the cover closed upon the container or boX. Any other suitable means may be provided to retain the cover closed.

A compartment 14 is movably retained within the container or box so that the compartment will be in position for insertion thereinand removal therefrom of an article, such as a folded razor strop A.. The compartment 1a comprises a suitable frame which may be made of stamped metal and is shown provided with holes 15 at opposite corners adapted to respectively receive lugs 16 within the container. The holes 15 are in flexible corner ears 15a on the compartment side walls. The lugs 16 are shown carried by and struck from a bar or plate 17 that is elevated slightly from the bottom 1 of the container or box. The plate 17 is shown made integral with the end wall 7, which may be done by bending the materialv of the wall at right angles thereto, at 18, to rest npon bottom 1, said material being bent reversely at 19 to elevate the plate 17 and the lugs 16. The side walls of compartr ment 111 may be pressed toward each other adjacent to the holes 15 to enable said holes to be engaged with `the lugs 16 when the compartment is to be placed within the container, said wall expanding to be retained by said lugs. The elevated plate 17 affords a base for the adjacent end of compartment lil to rest on when the compartment is elevated. The outer end of compartment 14 is open at 14 to permit the insertion and removal of the strop or another article. 1When the compartment 14 is resting upon the bottom 1 of the container a space 20 is provided between the inner end 14h of the compartment and the wall 7, in which space the frame portion of a safety razorB may be located. The upper wall of compartment 111 is shown provided with spaced ears or clips 21 which are shown curved and are springlike in order to grip the handle ZJ of the safety razor.

Between wall 6 and the adjacent end of compartment 14 is a space 22 in which safety razor blades may be located, which blades may be retained in a small box 23 1). To retain the box 23 I provide spring-like fingers 24- spaced from wall 6 and from the adjacent end of compartment 1&1-, said fingers extending in the general direction substantially parallel with said Wall adapted to grip box 23 therebetween. The `lingers 24 may be made integral with Wall 6, the intermediate portions 24nl of said ingers being shown bent laterally to stiien the material of the lingers. The interior of the container may be provided With lining material 25 which may be of any desired fabric secured to the box Walls by any suitable adhesive.

My improved container is inexpensive to manufacture, and Will be found convenient in use in that the articles, such as a razor, strop and blades, may be conveniently stored and kept in proper position. l/Vhen it is desired to use the strop, it is merely necessary to swing the compartment 14 outwardly to enable the strop to be withdrawn through the open end 14, and when the strop is to be restored the strop may be folded and tucked into compartment 14, and the latter then may be swung down against the bottom 1 of the container, after which the razor may be inserted with its frame in the space 2() and its handle Within the ears or clips 21.

Changes may be made in the details of construction set forth, Within the scope of the appended claims, Without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having now described my invention, what I claim is 1. A container having a bottom, sides and end Walls, one of the end Walls having a bar extending over the bottom and provided with spaced lugs, and a compartment hinged on said lugs.

2. A container having a bottom, sides and end Walls, one ot' the end walls having a bar extending. adjacent to the bottom Within the container' and provided with spaced lugs, and a compartment hinged on said lugs, said bar being in position to support the compart-4 ment when it is raised from the bottom of the container.
